Chapter 207 White Tiger Skin
Chapter 207 White Tiger Skin
In the early spring, there was just a drizzle in Lintong County, but it couldn't wash away the simplicity of this small county town with a history of hundreds of years.
In the east of Lintong County, there is an ancient road extending from the hills to the ancient town, winding all the way to the river.On the right side of the road is the slowly flowing river, and on the left side are low bungalows or stilted buildings.The bucket-style structure of all bricks, tiles, mud and wood is built near the mountains and cliffs.A row of narrow one-story houses follow the undulating terrain and are scattered high and low, until the east gate of the small county town.
Because it had just rained, the road was a bit muddy.But this day is the first day of the new year, and it is the market day.When the rain stopped, it was noon.Villagers from far and near small counties or hunters in the mountains came to Lintong County to go to the market one after another.On the endless sidewalk, a young man in a dark green shirt and a bamboo hat slowly walked into this ancient county with the flow of people.
Entering the streets of the county seat, you will be greeted by a quiet charm and ancient rhythm.Wooden pillars, beams, sandwich walls; small carved windows, crooked door lintels; mud tiles on houses, and brick walls on the street, all show traces of wind and frost erosion over the ages.
Young people wearing bamboo hats walk on the bluestone streets lined with small shops. Different shops hang different fabrics, such as "soup pancakes", "wooden utensils", "iron utensils"...
These small shops don't have any shouting and selling, and most of the shopkeepers are doing their own things.But when the young man walked into a noodle soup shop, Xiao Er immediately greeted him warmly.
"Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" Xiaoer should be a local, with a simple and honest appearance, and a very simple and honest smile.
"Just order something to fill your stomach." The young man smiled slightly.
"Okay."
After Xiaoer walked away, the young man chose to sit down at a mottled and wrinkled wooden table on the side. On the table were dark colored bowls, tea cups and teapots with a little rustic flavor.
The young man took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing a handsome face that was dusty but couldn't hide it. Maybe he had been on the road for several days, and there was a half-inch-long beard growing around his mouth.
This person is Chen Wei.
Taking advantage of Xiaoer's spare time serving the dishes, he turned his head and looked out at the street.
On the street, men, women, old and young, dressed simply, are mostly people going to the market.Diagonally opposite the shop, there should be some hunters moving the stall, and in front of them are some prey and fur from the mountain.
What caught Chen Wei's attention was that most of the stalls on the ground were animals such as hares and elks, but among the prey placed in front of one of the stalls were a black bear and a white tiger.White tigers are especially rare, and I don't know how many people around are attracted to them, pointing at the white tiger and black bear on the stall.
"Guest officer, a bowl of pork noodle soup, if you need anything else, you can call me anytime." Xiaoer laughed.
"Brother, are all the hunters in your place so fierce? They can even kill tigers, black bears?" Chen Wei was a little curious.
That Xiao Er glanced outside, then smiled and said: "I heard that the guest's accent is not from a local, so I don't know about it. In our Lintong County, the only one who can kill tigers and bears is the idiot second son of the gambling Liu family." , although the second cub is demented, he is born with supernatural powers, and the man-eating tiger is like a cat in front of him...so the money he sells for the pheasants and hares he hunted for a month is not enough for his second cub to go to the mountains and wander around the circle to earn money Too much. That’s okay, not to mention the tiger bones and meat, that white tiger skin is worth at least a few dozen taels of silver..."
Chen Wei heard it interesting, and couldn't help but look out and take another look.
That Xiaoer is also talkative, anyway, there are no customers in the shop, he just stood by and continued to chatter: "It's a pity, no matter how much money he makes, it's not enough for his dead bet to lose. Back then, there was still some real estate in the county town. Later, they all mortgaged to gamble, lost everything, and his wife was mad at him, and finally moved to the mountains with a dementia, opened a small shop, a place for travelers and traders to rest, How much money can I make? Every time I lose all my money, I will drive my son into the mountains, and I won’t be able to go home if I can’t beat the tiger. Although the stupid son has brute force, tigers are not chickens and ducks that can be seen everywhere. How can it be so easy to hit, but that gambler Liu is also cruel enough. Once he didn't let the second cub go home for half a month, and beat him with a stick when he came back. How could there be a cruel father who sent his son to the tiger's mouth? Woolen cloth……"
Chen Wei smiled slightly, the state of the world is naturally all-encompassing.Just listen to a story, after eating the noodle soup, Chen Wei put a small ingot of silver on the table and said with a smile: "My little brother, how can I get to Lishan?"
"Lishan, it's only five miles south of the city. Although it's not far away, the mountain road turns eighteen turns. It's rough and difficult to walk. It's not easy to walk, and it's easy to get lost. But that boy just lives At the foot of Mount Li, why don't you wait for him to disperse and let him show you the way."
……
At this moment, there was a sudden noise and laughter on the street.The source of the sound was the stall with tigers and black bears. Chen Wei picked up the burden and bamboo hat and walked over.
In the crowd, a dozen hooligans laughed and cursed around a huge guy.This guy looks like a mountain, and his chest and waist are not enough to describe his majesty, but the simple and honest smirk on his face destroyed the deterrent power of the whole person, making him appear harmless to humans and animals.
"Second bastard, think about it, this tiger weighs a few hundred catties, and the fur is half the weight. Your tiger sells for 50 taels of silver, and the tiger hair is only a few coppers after conversion. Don't talk about me, I said Give you ten copper coins, and you peel off the tiger skin!"
The person who was talking was the boss of this group of ruffians, named Chen Qi. His uncle was an official in Lintong County. He was very arrogant. He had recruited more than a dozen qingpila gangs and swaggered through the market all day long. He was a typical street bully. .A few days later it will be his uncle's birthday, this white tiger skin is very rare, it can be used as a birthday present.
You must know that the most valuable part of a tiger is the tiger whip and the tiger skin. When Chen Qi offered ten copper coins for the tiger skin, the onlookers cursed Chen Qi for being unscrupulous and despicable.
Er Zaizi shook his head foolishly and said with a smirk: "My father said that the white tiger skin is worth 20 taels, and ten copper coins are not for sale..."
"You idiot..." Chen Qi scolded angrily, "Do you know how many copper coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver?"
Er Zaizi stretched out his fingers and counted carefully.
"Are there enough fingers?"
Er Zaizi scratched his head, smirked embarrassedly and said, "Not enough."
"Then use your toes!" Chen Qi laughed.
"That's right...it's still not enough."
"Haha..." The crowd burst into mocking laughter.
"Then I told you that it can be exchanged for ten copper coins. You said the tiger skin is worth 20 taels, so that is two hundred copper coins. I have three hundred copper coins here, so you can sell the tiger skin to me, right?" Chen Qi He took out a purse and smiled.
"It can be sold, it can be sold!" Er Zaizi smiled happily.Little did he know that one tael of silver could be exchanged for thousands of copper coins.
The onlookers suddenly cursed angrily in a low voice.
"Why are you arguing? Believe it or not, I have spoken so much in your face?" Chen Qi glanced at the people around him viciously, and cursed.
The dozen or so minions also fiercely drove away the onlookers.
"Okay, hurry up and take it off for me!" Chen Qi turned around and smiled.
Er Zaizi immediately picked up the knife and peeled off the tiger's skin three or two times. The action was very skillful, and he handed it to Chen Qi bloody.
Chen Qi frowned, and cursed angrily: "Will you really know how to peel off the tiger's skin, and it bleeds? Who would dare to take it if it was peeled off like this..."
"It's skinned, of course it will bleed..." Er Zaizi still had a silly smile on his face.
"Stinky idiot, whoever said skinning would bleed."
"It will bleed. When I hit a tiger, I will bleed when I get scratched by the tiger's claws."
"You're lying, why would you bleed..." Chen Qi laughed coldly, his eyes flashing with mockery.
Er Zaizi lowered his head and smirked: "It will flow, it will flow..."
"You can prove it to me? Just hit this rock with your fist and see if your hand will bleed."
"Okay!" Er Zaizi walked to a hard granite stone next to him, raised his fist and smashed it.
"No bleeding!" Chen Qi laughed.
Er Zaizi punched him hard again.
"Bang" was another punch, and finally, the fist bleeds.
"Look, blood." Er Zaizi laughed while holding up his blood-soaked fist.
Chen Qi and his gang of ruffians were already laughing so hard, pointing at Er Zaizi and scolding this idiot is really fun.
The second cub smiled foolishly.
……
Chen Wei, who was standing beside him quietly watching this scene, seemed to be stung in the eyes when he saw the innocent smirk of Er Zaizi that day.
He walked out from the crowd and said to Chen Qi: "Brother, I will pay you 100 taels for this tiger skin. How about selling it to me?"
Chen Qizheng couldn't straighten his back with a smile, and suddenly his eyes lit up when he heard someone offer 100 taels, "100 taels?"
"Yes, 100 taels!" Chen Wei laughed.
"Deal, bring the money!" Chen Qi was ecstatic.
"Here are a thousand copper coins."
Chen Qi's face changed suddenly, he glared at Chen Wei, and said with a sinister smile: "Are you playing with me?"
"Of course not. What you said just now is that one tael of silver is equal to ten copper coins, and 100 taels is one thousand copper coins. Is there something wrong?" Chen Wei smiled.
"Fuck your grandma, do you know who I am, beat this thing to death for me..." Chen Qi was really domineering, and immediately ordered his subordinates to do it.
But before those minions could make a move, Chen Qi found that there was a sharp blade on his throat.
"Don't move!" Chen Qi was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and hurriedly called his subordinates to stop.
"Do you think it will bleed if you cut it?" Chen Wei squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Yes, yes..." Chen Qi's voice trembled.
"Would you? Prove it!"
"no no……"
"Why, do you want me to prove it for you?" The blood blade sword in Chen Wei's hand tightened immediately.
"I'll hit the rock, I'll hit the rock..." Chen Qi walked to the rock just now, and when his neck left the sword in Chen Wei's hand, he immediately ran away, turning around and yelling you to wait, I will definitely seek revenge from you.
Chen Wei withdrew his sword disapprovingly, then walked up to Er Zaizi, only to find that this guy's body was astonishingly big, almost like a hill, and even he felt a sense of oppression.
Chen Wei looked up at his face and said with a smile: "I heard that you live in Lishan, I will give you 20 taels of silver, can you take me there?"
"I'll take you there, no money required!" Er Zaizi smiled innocently, "But my daddy has gone to gamble, so I have to wait for him to come back before we go back together."
"Okay, I'll wait with you." Chen Wei smiled, and then walked to the stone to sit down, but when he just touched the solid granite stone, there were two clicks suddenly, and the huge stone unexpectedly When it shattered, the inside turned into powder.
Thinking of the three punches just now, Chen Wei stared blankly at that huge fellow, "Fuck me, this is too perverted."
